About Me

Thank you for visiting my website! My name is Levi McGlone, and I am a web developer in the Columbus, OH area.
I have 5 years of web development experience working for both small and medium-sized businesses as well as startups.
I am a full-stack developer with experience in both front-end and back-end development.

Technical Expertise

The majority of my expertise is with the PHP/Linux stack. PHP is my primary back-end programming language; however, I do have experience in other programming languages as well.
My Github account has NodeJS projects, Java projects, and a small Python project. I have 2 years of experience building WordPress websites and custom Laravel applications
from scratch. On the front-end, I have experience with SASS, Webpack, ReactJS, and ES2017. I also have a strong knowledge of git and source control strategies.

In addition to being a full-stack developer. I also have operations experience as well. I have lots of experience managing
Ubuntu servers and setting up DevOps automation using Ansible, Vagrant, Docker, and GOSS.

Other Projects

Recently, I have started building Alexa skills in NodeJS. I also tinker with IOT on Raspberry Pi and Arduinos in my
spare time.

Past Work Experience

Root Insurance

I currently work at Root Insurance as a Software Engineer. Root Insurance is a startup that
is transforming how everyday people purchase car insurance. By downloading the app, users'
driving habits are evaluated. This data is used to generate a quote that is based on the
risk of insuring the driver. I work on the Telematics team at Root to collect and analyze
driving data.

Root Insurance uses the following stack:

Ruby on Rails 5.2

React Native

Java and Swift (Native Development)

Python (Data Science)

PostgreSQL

IQVentures

IQVentures is a venture capital firm located in Columbus, OH. Many of their products and services are
centered around call centers, VOIP, and phone call transcription. I primarily work on their SpeechIQ and Fugent
products.

SpeechIQ is IQVentures' flagship company. The SpeechIQ app is written in PHP7, GoLang, and jQuery.
It is hosted in AWS, and it processes call center data. End users can search the full transcription
of phone calls via Elasticsearch. SpeechIQ can also perform automated call scoring and compliance
validation and provide the results to the user through a full-featured reporting interface. I helped
build SpeechIQ V3. I worked on many elements of the app such as reporting, call processing, and
integration with our clients and 3rd parties.

Fugent is an event management platform that was recently acquired by IQVentures. The Fugent app is written in
PHP7 and jQuery. It uses a proprietary framework for both backend and frontend code. I primarily worked on the
scheduling assistant feature, which is very similar to Calendly or TimeTrade. In addition, I designed and built systems that
integrated scheduling assistant with many other services such as Microsoft Outlook, Salesforce, and Google Calendar.

Buckeye Interactive

I worked at Buckeye Interactive (a small consulting agency in New Albany, OH) as a software developer.
While I was there, I actively worked on several new projects and helped maintain a fleet of 300 websites.
Most of the projects I worked on were PHP applications in Laravel and WordPress. I helped Dockerize
several WordPress projects, and I also contributed to the development of a few Ansible roles. Most of
the applications I worked on used this stack:

PHP 7

Ubuntu Server 16.04

Nginx

PHP-FPM

MariaDB or PostgreSQL

NodeJS

HER Realtors

HER Realtors was a client for several years when I ran my own company, McGlone Technologies.
I did several projects for HER Realtors; however, the biggest project was a complete redesign
to their current responsive website. I received some very minimal PHP mockups and some designs
from another company, and I implemented the designs inside the Real Estate Digitial CRM
and web platform. While working in the RED platform, I was able to increase security of HER
website while providing significant business value in terms of customer and user experience.

IGS Energy

I worked at IGS Energy as an intern in the summer of 2015. I worked on an internal deployment
application called MantisShrimp. Basically, MantisShrimp was a proprietary deployment and
automation platform designed for the .NET stack. There were several different kinds of deployments
that could be automated through a conglomeration of C# and Powershell. I helped build a new user
interface using AngularJS and .NET MVC5 to replace an old MVC4 interface. I also wrote several SQL
scripts to clean up data duplication inside the MantisShrimp database.
